Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Astrological Compatibility, According to an Astrologer

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos have been together for almost 30 years, and their power-couple energy has a lot to do with their zodiac signs. 

The duo first met on the set of All My Children in 1995, during Consuelos’ audition for the role of Mateo Santos, the love interest for Ripa’s character Hayley Vaughan. Their chemistry was undeniable, so it wasn’t long before they decided to take their relationship to the next level. Less than a year later, Ripa and Consuelos eloped and have since welcomed three children together.

It was love at first sight for the Live With Kelly and Mark cohosts, and analyzing their birth charts only confirmed that the stars indeed aligned for them. The couple’s astrological compatibility is quintessential, as Ripa, born on Oct. 2, 1970, embodies the archetype of Venus as a Libra, while Consuelos, born on March 30, 1971, is ruled by Mars as an Aries.

The come-hither synergy between Mars and Venus is one of magnetic attraction, where the fiery passion of Mars becomes instantly captivated by Venus’ irresistible allure. “I thought she was adorable, hot and sexy and all that stuff,” Consuelos previously told HuffPost of their initial meeting.

Read on for a deep dive into what the stars say about the couple’s astrological compatibility:

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ compatibility based on planetary alignment

Despite being polar opposites signs, Ripa and Consuelos complement each other perfectly. Their sun signs sit directly across one another, which serves as a mirror, reflecting back the qualities they both admire and long for. As a Libra sun, Ripa may prefer to maintain harmony and balance, but Consuelos brings spontaneity and passion as an Aries.

“I was drawn to Mark because he was positively an alpha male, and I didn’t think I would be drawn to that. But I just worship him,” Ripa told ELLE in 2013.

In addition to being each other’s biggest cheerleaders, Ripa and Consuelos inspire a profound and mutual sense of self-acceptance, encouraging one another to embrace their individuality fully and unapologetically.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ romance and intimacy compatibility

Ripa and Consuelos are incredibly receptive and naturally intuitive to each other’s needs. This innate ability to understand each other’s emotions stems from a harmonious trine between Consuelos’ Venus and Ripa’s moon.

The Riverdale actor has an exalted Venus in Pisces, which means the love planet is astrologically well-placed and in its fullest expression. Venus, the planet of romance, pleasure, and seduction, finds its ideal manifestations in Pisces, a sign associated with themes of fantasy and unconditional love. Ripa, herself a Venus-ruled sign, further amplifies her romantic attraction to Consuelos and vice versa. 

What’s even more fascinating about this alignment is that Consuelos’ Venus occupies Ripa’s sixth house of work, which is where they fell in love, but it gets better. Pisces is ruled by Neptune, a planet that is associated with art, mysticism, and media.

During an interview with Bruce Bozzi, for his SiriusXM Radio Andy show Lunch with Bruce in 2018, Ripa reminisced about the moment she saw her husband for the first time and how she knew he was the one. “When I saw him, the photograph of him, I saw my entire future with him flash before — like I saw it,” said Ripa.

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ intellectual rapport and communication compatibility

In addition to their intuitive connection, Ripa and Consuelo have a natural flow of communication and understanding, which has evidently served as a solid foundation for their relationship to flourish. 

Born with a stability-seeking Taurus moon, Consuelos finds comfort and resonance in Ripa’s methodical mind and practical approach, particularly due to her Mercury in Virgo. This astrological alignment is conducive to a deeper understanding of their communication styles, as there is a mutual appreciation for each other’s honesty and way of thinking.

“We’re not afraid to go there,” Ripa exclusively told PEOPLE of their connection. “We have the confidence in our marriage that no matter what we discuss, I don’t mind being the villain in the argument, nor does Mark. Neither one of us needs to be the hero.”

Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ career and financial compatibility

The former soap stars may have different approaches to money and careers, but together, they find a way to navigate challenges and obtain success. This is particularly due to an alignment between Consuelos’ Saturn and Ripa’s Venus.

While Consuelos provides structure, discipline and pragmatism, Ripa brings loyalty and a passion for positive transformation in their financial and professional endeavors.

Ripa’s Venus in Scorpio can explain her magnetism and innate ability to attract opportunities, but Consuelos’ Saturn in Taurus simultaneously provides the stability and structure needed to materialize their shared goals and dreams.

“To have Mark join me at that desk every day, it’s a dream come true,” Ripa exclusively told PEOPLE regarding the newly titled Live With Kelly and Mark. “We’ve been so uniquely blessed.”
